FAQs
Are the Chuck 70s different from standard Chuck Taylor All Stars?
Yes, the Chuck 70 features higher-grade canvas, a thicker rubber foxing, and an upgraded cushioned footbed for improved comfort and durability.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Converse typically runs slightly large. It is often recommended to size down by half a size from your standard athletic shoe size if you prefer a tighter fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your Chuck 70s, as this can damage the materials, cause discoloration, or weaken the glue bond.
What is the best way to keep the white canvas white?
Prevention is key. Use a fabric protector spray before wearing them out, and wipe away dirt immediately after use.
Is the Chuck 70 appropriate for athletic activity?
While originally a basketball shoe in the 70s, modern versions are designed for casual lifestyle use and do not offer the support required for high-impact sports.
Troubleshooting
The canvas upper has become stained
Spot clean the affected area using a soft cloth, lukewarm water, and a mild detergent. Avoid submerging the entire shoe.
The rubber foxing shows scuff marks
Use a specialized rubber cleaner or a melamine sponge dampened with water to gently buff away black scuffs.
The shoes feel too stiff upon first wear
This is normal for the Chuck 70 series. Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the canvas and rubber to flex and adapt to your gait.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your Chuck 70s, ensure the fit is snug but comfortable; because they are made of premium canvas, they will slightly mold to your feet over time. To maintain the crisp white appearance, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can yellow the rubber over time. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt from the canvas. For the rubber foxing, a damp cloth with mild soap is usually sufficient to remove scuff marks. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can compromise the adhesive bonding and fabric integrity.
